This thread addresses how to use a Puppy distro to share folders in your LAN community using SAMBA.

This thread is a work in progress to try to address the specifics of sharing from the perspective of each separate distro. this is because each distro can provide its own unique way for the SAMBA subsystem to be made available to its users.

Because Puppy is a varied collection of kernels and package management repositories, I felt it best to try to provide individual documents for many of the primary Puppy Linux distros.

Please post to this thread for assistance in "sharing" content with your LAN PC users should you have problems

On the forum, there is this other thread on SAMBA here, as well, Its information is formatted a little differently to ease use of SAMBA._________________Get ACTIVE Create Circles; Do those good things which benefit people's needs!

Pristine usage
To use SAMBA in FATDOG-V6xx, a user MUST know that a Control Panel utility MUST be run so that the OOTB SAMBA server can provide sharing to the LAN community. The following figure depicts this need and it is advised to Enable and to Start the SAMBA server..
Running the following command shows what is initially being shared.

There is no Guide at this time for FATDOG tailoring for any user needs. This FATDOG does not fully participate with some modern smb protocols and devices._________________Get ACTIVE Create Circles; Do those good things which benefit people's needs!

Thank you for this guide. I have a few comments that I hope may help to improve this very helpful document:

Ironically I wasn't able to open the Google docs site in Seamonkey and had to use Firefox to view it. That is probably something I've done however.

Both my Wifi routers issue IP addresses beginning with 10. not 198. . I believe that this is very common with WiFi routers, which are by far the most common home router type in my country. It might help avoid noob confusion if this was mentioned.

The last link on the Seamonkey page points to the Slacko announcement, not the 528 one.

Have you considered getting this information added to the Puppy Help 101 page, which is a file built into the 528 sfs? Or at least getting a link to your site added there?

LxPUP64 uses a version of sharing (SAMBA) that makes it capable to conect as well as allow connections to all 2009-2015 devices that attach to Windows and MACs (all known SMB protocol units).
